Jibber, you didn't fill out enough of your profile, or tell us enough in your message, about how much and what kind of property you have, what jobs or projects you intend to do with that tractor (and you'll find others to do after you get it). Block heater sounds like a very good idea for your part of country; not needed in mine. If you're not getting a cab model (for heat maybe in your area and cooling in mine), I'd sure want a canopy (makes shade at least, keeps things like small limbs and leaves from falling on your head and makes a good place to mount extra work lights - if you're going to work when it's dark - and makes a good place to mount a rear view mirror and tiltmeter). How about a SMV (slow moving vehicle) placard (if you ever intend to get it on a public road). And a couple of remote hydraulic outlets on the rear (if you intend to use a rear blade or box blade, they sure are handy to add hydraulic top 'n tilt). Are you gonna get some chain hooks mounted on the FEL bucket? Seems that everyone finds those are needed. And then what implements do you intend to buy/use? Finish mower, rotary cutter, tiller, plows, blades, snow blower, etc.?
Give us a little information and I'll guarantee we can help you spend your money. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
